Goofy

Goofy provides rust bindings to the mobile instagram API.

Goofy by example

Get a profile by username

use goofy::Client;

fn main() {
    let client = Client::new("foo", "bar").expect("Could not create client");
    let profile = client.get_profile_by_username("mozilla");
    assert_eq!(profile.username, "mozilla");
}

Get a profile by user id

use goofy::Client;

fn main() {
    let client = Client::new("foo", "bar").expect("Could not create client");
    let profile = client.get_profile_by_id(7107542290);
    assert_eq!(profile.username, "mozilla");
}

Get followers for a specific profile

use goofy::Client;

fn main() {
    let client = Client::new("foo", "bar").expect("Could not create client");
    let followers = client.get_followers(7107542290);
    assert!(followers.len() > 0);
}

Store a client to disk

This is especially useful when you repeatedly start your program. Storing the client to disk avoids repeated login and thus lowers the chance of getting blocked by instagram.

use goofy::Client;

fn main() {
    let client = Client::new("foo", "bar").expect("Could not create client");
    client.export("goofy-session.txt").expect("Could not persist client to disk");
}
